Encodes a vacuolar processing enzyme belonging to a novel group of cysteine proteinases that is expressed in vegetative organs and is upregulated in association with various types of cell death and under stressed conditions. They are essential in processing seed storage proteins and for mediating the susceptible response of toxin-induced cell death.

Encodes a vacuolar processing enzyme belonging to a novel group of cysteine proteinases that is expressed in vegetative organs and is upregulated in association with various types of cell death and under stressed conditions.
Encodes a vacuolar processing enzyme belonging to a novel group of cysteine proteases that is expressed specifically in seeds and is essential for the proper processing of storage proteins.
Encodes a vacuolar processing enzyme with caspase-1-like activity that is specifically expressed in inner integument of developing seeds. Mutants display abnormal seed coat development. It is speculated to be involved in cell death of limited cell layers, the purpose of which is to form a seed coat.
